Network mirror problem during installation(SOLVED)

[MOD EDIT - moved this to its own thread]

I am a new bunsen and Linux user and recently installed bunsenlabs but on network mirror selection step when I select any network mirror,it won't work (also the auto network configuration step was failed so I skipped that)
The setup completes and now I am ended up with having no Jessie maon repo added so I cannot install any packages.........any guides to add that manually would be very helpful.
Thanks
(SOLVED)

Re: Network mirror problem during installation(SOLVED)

sudo geany etc/apt/sources.list

this is what your sources.list should look like after a fresh install and going through the bl-welcome script

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150908-13:17]/ jessie contrib main non-free

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150908-13:17]/ jessie contrib main non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free



# added by bl-welcome
# Multimedia repository
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free

edit: Mine is missing the BL repos

Re: Network mirror problem during installation(SOLVED)

Welcome to BunsenLabs smile

Please take some time to familiarize yourself with how to post questions. See if they have been answered before (and this one has, many times); and don't add yours to someone else's thread unless it is relevant to that thread.

You can get a list of network mirrors from Debian mirrors. An example sources.list could be (assuming you want non-free packages:

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150908-13:17]/ jessie contrib main non-free

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot i386 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150908-13:17]/ jessie contrib main non-free

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# jessie-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ jessie-updates main contrib non-free

You could also use the redirector, which tries to find the best mirror (doesn't work well for everyone though):

Re: Network mirror problem during installation(SOLVED)

Mine sources.list is as follows

# 

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150909-03:19]/ jessie contrib main non-free

# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150909-03:19]/ jessie contrib main non-free

# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free
# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

# added by bl-welcome
# Multimedia repository
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free

EDIT: Edited my sources.list and everything is working fine now.
thanks a ton for quick response,it would be great if you could drop me a link on how to instal nvidia drivers
EDIT 2: Installed nvidia drivers from synaptic package manager and rebooted my system .....after successfully loading grub,when I select bunsenlabs it brings me to a black screen with a "_" constantly blinking.

It's hiding in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen.list

Please edit the title of your first post and add [SOLVED}

https://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers

Please start a new thread if you have a different problem. You won't get much help about graphics drivers in a solved thread about a network mirror! And SEARCH THE FORUM - this is another common problem.
